- Abstract:
- This paper deals with the investigations of biological tissues with magnetite insertions through computer simulation and measurements in support of chemo-hyperthermal delivery. Modeling of microwave-thermal effects in tissues, under different clinical specifications, in relation with magnetic nanoassemblies features is taken into account to correlate the thermal effect of microwave with the thermal effect in the volume under irradiation. Simulation of the tissues was performed in CST Microwave Studio in the presence and absence of insertions. It has been observed that there is a very beneficial effect on the uniformity of the thermal effect in the tissue, in the presence of the inserts, due to the much better thermal conductivity of these materials beside the tissues.
